[Gtkradiant] future gtkglext trouble: gdk_gl_font_use_pango_font(_for_display) API removed

[Nerius Landys]

Oh, "we'll" fix it when it becomes an issue, at the latest.
I've been testing Radiant on the latest Ubuntu 10.10 and apparently that
still has this function defined (so everything compiles and works).  So I'd
expect this to break in a serious manner in 6 months or so when the next
version of Ubuntu gets released.

I'm actually going to look at some [unrelated] font issues tomorrow so I
might just stumble upon this code then, we'll see.
